IF the rioters last night had fought in Westminster, then I'd agree, they were targeting the government who you say they probably have the grievance with. They targeted areas (last night anyway) where there are a lot of mobile phone, consumer electronics and sports shops. They also targeted their own communities. In some cases, they targeted poor areas while saying they were targeting the rich.
and how do we know that some of these people are not fighting for their people IE The Common Man?

As i said people were heard to be shouting "We are just getting our taxes back" during looting.

When people are being denied services, benfits and so on they have paid taxes for and yet see those who governs them living a lavish lifestyle in new cars and so on it will annoy most.
